dude, it's a ford......'nuff said :p :D

A Ford that only an Enzo can beat. ;)

....in a race to the shop :D

True that.

How much do they want for that thing? $140K? For a Ford? Riiiight..

For a Ford that will smoke any car on the road except stuff like an Enzo, Carrera GT, Koenigsegg, etc. Note that the average price tags on those cars is about $800k CDN.

Ford is Quality no 1. :p

engine is from a truck? so that's why it sounded like a truck!!!

$140 US ... I think it's price and performance is to compete with the 360 Modena, not the Enzo.

i'd rather drive an S2000......oh, wait a minute.....I DO.......

It's price competes with the Modena, it's performance beats every Ferrari available today save the Enzo.

0-60 in 3.7 seconds, 0-100 in 8 seconds. The Enzo is like 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, 0-100 in 6.5.

I was at the Ford dealer today to service our Explorer, of course they didn't know shit about the GT.

Yeah, that's typical FORD ... their dealers don't know anything about their products except how to mark up the prices. When I was asking about the Ford Lightning a couple years back the dealers looked at me with a lost look on their faces.

I heard the Enzo uses special oil from Shell, and it supposedly costs over $1000 US just for an oil change because of it.

You guys have no idea how long we at Ford have been promised this car finnally they are back in the performance race in a big way!

I would step over my own mother for a Ford GT. That car is gorgeous. I've seen it in the flesh the past two years in Detroit. *drool*

The engine is readily accessible, so working on it wouldn't be too difficult. I guess it just comes down to parts and parts availability. However if it's the engine from a F350 or the Lightning (probably the Lightning) then engine pieces shouldn't be too difficult to get ones hands on.

I'm the furthest thing from a fan of Ford but asthetically they're giving me a woody. I like the new Thunderbird, the Mustang Concept is staggering and this GT(40) belongs on the track... with me driving it. :p

Of course if the new mustang looks CHEAP and nothing like the concept, I'll be gravely disappointed and probably shun Ford for years to come. Course, I'll still happily accept a GT any day of the week.

HotKnives: Yeah well my Honda dealership was trying to tell me the 04' S2K was going to have 280HP. I told him the numbers just don't add up. That would be better than 120HP/L, which would probably mean higher compression which would mean it couldn't sell in the US with their gas, etc..etc...

It's just dealerships. They don't have a clue. Most public consumer places don't. You have to go specialty to find salespeople that know their industry.

Taylor: that's true, the dealership I went into serves the older clientele (I'm in a geriatric neighbourhood) ... the Toyota dealership in my neighbourhood was trying to convince me the Solara is the Supra reborn ... HAHAHAHA
